Canada experienced a decrease of over 76,000 residents between July and October, primarily attributed to reductions in foreign students and temporary workers. The decline indicates shifts in migration patterns possibly influenced by policy changes or external factors affecting immigration inflow. Analyzing these trends requires consideration of Canada’s immigration policies, economic conditions, and global mobility patterns. The population decline reflects a temporary shift rather than a long-term demographic trend, emphasizing the importance of ongoing monitoring of migration and demographic data for policy and planning purposes.
